THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has counselled Presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to stop deluding themselves and come to terms with the reality that they lack the legislative number and constitutional facilities to impeach Senate President Bukola Saraki and Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, or to even call for their resignation.
The PDP observed in a statement issued by Kola Ologbondiyan, its National Publicity Secretary in Abuja on Friday that the Muhammad Buhari Presidency and APC, having realized that there is no way they can muster the constitutionally required two-third votes of the 109 senators (representing 73 senators), engaged in underhand tactics, including the invasion of the National Assembly, which turned out a disgraceful adventure.
It added: “Even before then, Nigerians were already aware of moves to use humongous funds to induce lawmakers to trigger crisis in the National Assembly and pave the way for the removal of presiding officers.
“Now that they have discovered that there is no way they can achieve their devious intentions, they have commenced a war of blackmail, distortions of fact and media trial against the Senate leadership, which, of course, will end up as another wasteful venture as Nigerians are aware of the long-drawn desperation of the Buhari Presidency to annex the legislature.
“Even among the ranks of the depleted APC senators and members of the House of Representatives, there is a huge aversion to the underhand tactics being deployed by the Buhari Presidency and the APC to force out duly elected presiding officers of the National Assembly.
“As such, such lawmakers are fully aligned with Nigerians, the PDP and the National Assembly leadership in the protection of the independence, sanctity and integrity of our parliament and all democratic institutions in our land.
“It is therefore instructive for both the Buhari Presidency and the APC to know that there is no way they can remove the leadership of the National Assembly, particularly the Senate.”
The PDP has, therefore, cautioned the Buhari Presidency and the APC to stop overheating the polity with their outbursts and shed future perverse attempts to circumvent our rules and constitution, as such will not help them or change the resolve of Nigerians to vote them out in 2019.
You are right the masses will remove them by 2019
What happened if they didn’t get elected or get elected but not elected has the new principal officers in the new political dispensation.
APC are only wailing
Saraki all d way.Buhari has no regard for Nigerian constitution or rule of law,his administration has never obeyed any court order,now he has arrogated himself an executive order to seize peoples property with out going to court,which is against our constitution & he find out that d senate under d leadership of saraki will never allow DAT,he is trying by all means to remove d leadership of d senate ,BT d APC & Buhari will fail
How long shall this Fulani terrorist government last with their army of terror???
We are watching!!!
U can say so to Buhari bcos he’s gentle, u can’t say that if it were OBJ
But, the question to APC is: Why must you desire to remove Saraki and Dogara or Ekweremadu?
Why not remove Boko Haram, Herdsmen, hunger, poverty, road accidents, poor health facilities?
Or, is it because, you came in without the actual resolve to rule?
